Comments (1)Thanks....See MoreComment: Installation instructions from Carpet and Rug Institute?
Comments (9)I would insist on #3 and #5. #1 is important more in the winter in my opinion. #2 if on cement is important..not if staple down unless it is some type of moisture barrier cushion...then it should be taped. #4 I dont understand..I must be missing something. 3 and 5 are big time important. When the salesman argues about #5..heres the scoop. On a cut pile or frieze, its not nearly as important like it is on a commercial or looped carpet. But what happens is that my store has had some de lamination of carpet backing maybe 3 or 4 years down the road. When the inspector comes he black lights the seam and if there is no latex..he blames it on installation procedure. I do not agree with it but it is the way they wiggle out in todays economy. Also the sealer on edge actually will fill the holes left behind from straight edging the carpet to prepare for the seam. Thus encapsulating the fiber so that it doesent fall out. With a decent carpet, you wouldnt see it anyway as their are plenty of fiber to explode onto one another across the seam, but it is still important and the way it should be done. I do not believe that 8 out of my 9 crews that are currently working for me do this...but I am telling you what is correct. On a loop it is imperative as the loops will unravel at the seam. The seam tape does not do the job of sealing the holes. The power stretcher is just a no brainer. A kicker for a closet is fine or maybe a wildly shaped hall in a spot or two..but that's it. If they bring in a stretcher with a hook, throw them out..thats not stretching carpet..not to a flooring store standards. maybe a moonlighting installer that charges you half it is, not a bonafide flooring store. Good Luck. hope it helps. Dont over think it though...you'll just make yourself sick and most of the time these installers get away with these shortcuts ... maybe I'm a little to anal at times but I too like things done correctly....See MoreProblems with th Institute of Reading Development
Comments (2)Finally, after almost a week of trying, I got in touch with a supervisor, and even though it was hard to get a hold of someone, I am very satisfied with the service and resolution that was reached. I explained the class level situation to the supervisor, and she said that my son would be able to move to the higher level next summer without an additional charge. He won't be finishing this years class, but he already has the skills they teach. I also have to add that the teacher my son had was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and recognized that my son was in the wrong class. She wanted what was best for him, and that meant a lot to me. Overall, I'm a satisfied customer....See MoreClassic reads... How many have you read?
Comments (14)I've read all but the first one, though I tried to get through that one. SILENT SPRING lit the fire in my belly regarding pesticide use and helped shape the direction of my career. I first read it in college and became a thorn in the collective paws of my horticulture professors....See MoreLoretta NJ Z6
